I confess that I've been merely skimming over the subject lines of CryoNet for some time now, but I agree that it would be great to meet in person someday. Arguments about Deep Stuff are rarely resolved by any single conversation, but a face-to-face meeting allows for some styles of interaction that would be difficult to replicate in media such as e-mail or even IRC. > I am making a decision regarding going to the Foresight Senior > Associate meeting in April.

I came thi-i-i-is close to going this year, but once again it looks like I won't make it. I hope we can meet someday, Rudi, along with many of the other CryoNet and Foresight folks. Barring a last-minute change of plans, however, it won't happen this April. Best of luck finding a roommate. If Will Ware offers to share hotel expenses with you, I can vouch that he's a great roommate -- unless what you're *looking* for is a noisy all-night party animal. Then again, I've never seen Will in a boisterous mood, so perhaps I've only witnessed his quiet side. :-) --The other Will ___________________________________________________________________ William L.
